Introduction of Modified Starch:

In order to improve the performance of starch and expand its application range, physical, chemical or enzymatic treatment is used to introduce new functional groups on starch molecules or change the size of starch molecules and the properties of starch granules, thereby changing the natural characteristics of starch (such as: gelatinization temperature , thermal viscosity and its stability, freeze-thaw stability, gel strength, film-forming properties, transparency, etc.), making it more suitable for certain application requirements. This kind of starch that has undergone secondary processing and changed its properties is collectively called modified starch (also called denatured starch).

The purpose of denaturation is to adapt to the requirements of various industrial applications. For example: high-temperature technology (canning sterilization) requires starch to have good high-temperature viscosity stability, frozen food requires starch to have good freeze-thaw stability, and jelly food requires good transparency and film-forming properties. The second is to open up new uses of starch and expand the scope of application. Such as: starch used in textiles; hydroxypropyl starch instead of plasma; highly cross-linked starch instead of talcum powder for surgical gloves, etc.

Introduction of Our Modified Starch Production Equipment:

Our modified starch production line uses corn starch, tapioca starch, potato starch, etc. as the main raw materials, and adopts an extrusion process with a twin-screw extruder as the core equipment. The high temperature and high pressure of the raw materials in the extruder and the shear force of twin-screw mixing make the starch gelatinize and change the original physical and chemical properties of the starch, so as to produce modified starch with more excellent properties, making it suitable for production and life needs, has a wider use value. The modified starch produced by extrusion method is widely used in many industries such as food processing, feed, biopharmaceutical, cosmetics, foundry, building materials, textile, paper making, etc., and has a broad market prospect.
